I somehow missed the hype on this one, and the trailer really didn't
excite me, but I got a chance to see an advance screening and the other
reviewer here who said "It blew me away" hit the nail right on the
head.

I generally hate going to the cinema - preferring to wait until the DVD
or HD-DVD are available because I'm fed up of shoddy prints, poor sound
systems, ignorant members of the public with their ringing phones, late
arrivals, noisy popcorn etc. My home system is so much better. But not
for this movie! It needs to be seen on the big screen (preferably an
Imax - I'm hoping to catch it a second time on IMAX) with a good sound
system. The images are consistently breath-taking, the sound is
staggeringly good and note-perfect throughout, and Gerard Butler is
barely recognisable as the guy from "Dear Frankie" (a great,
under-rated movie) and "Phantom of the Opera".

Highly recommended. I've given it a 9, and I don't think I've given a
movie that high a score for over a year (and I average about 6 movies a
week). This makes "Gladiator" look like a cheap kid's cartoon.
